Flights to Greece with Qatar Airways

Greece is one of the most popular countries in Europe to visit, and has been for thousands of years. Famous for its sandy beaches, dramatic backdrops and diverse landscape, Greece is a magnet for travellers looking to relax and explore some culture. Travel to Greece with Qatar Airways and discover a country that offers everything from nature to history in one fascinating location.

Greece is composed of a number of distinct regions with their own traditions and identities. Most of the land is mountainous and largely uninhabited. While Athens is home to almost a third of the country, many offshore islands are inhabited today as well, and are without doubt some of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

The country’s strategic location between Europe, Asia and Africa made it the a place of interest for many conquerors throughout the years. Several great powers have passed through these lands and left a myriad of influences and sites that have survived to this day. Relics of the Mycenaean and Byzantine civilisations are dotted across the country.

Many of the original buildings have survived from the time of Socrates and Plato, including temples such as the Parthenon, which stands with other notable monuments in the Acropolis, an ancient site sitting atop a hill in Greece. On the south slope of the Acropolis lies the world’s first theatre, and another magnificent structure standing to this day.

Visitors flock every year to the Greek islands for sun, sand and sea, and also the famously relaxed lifestyle. The various island groups are linked by regular ferry services, and a popular activity is island-hopping.
